Her Life Starts to Spin out of Control

Herring had cock blocked him… There was no other way to put it.. If it hadn't been for his interruption, he would have been with his wife last night. Damn Herring had ruined it all. He'd have to have his revenge.

"You're Shelly's brother, shouldn't you at least research this model guy before you let them date? You don't know anything about him!" This was the only excuse Herring could think of to prevent Colin calling Shelly, and to prevent Shelly being with another man.

Colin raised his eyebrows and squinted down at Herring. "My uncle already investigated his background. He went back three generations. His parents are president and vice president of a bank, and his grand parents were distinguished teachers. His family background is as squeaky clean as it gets."

Shelly's father didn't have particularly high expectations for his son-on-law. As long as the son-in-law came from a decent family and was good to Shelly, he was happy. Financial background was unimportant to him.

Herring cast a pensive glance at Colin. "Why are you on this guy's side?"

"You think I should be on your side? Really? You think I would introduce my sister to a man who flips through girls like pages in a book? To a man who is after a forest, not a single tree?" Colin pulled his phone from Herring's grasp and set it aside.

He pulled out two cigarettes, lit both, and handed one to Herring.

Herring, clearly in a bad mood, smoked silently. Likewise with Colin. Depressed for different reasons, both men were already having terrible days.

About 10 minutes passed in this manner. Both men remained silent, quietly smoking their cigarettes.

"Knock, knock, knock!" There was someone at the office door.

"Come in!"

It was Serena. She pushed the door open, and with a nervous look she said, "Mr. Colin… Miss Chiao and Miss Lo are in a fight.. Miss Ji isn't around.. So I had to come to get you.."

Colin and Herring traded looks at each other, then quickly trotted out of the office.

When they got to the secretaries' area, Sophia's scream pierced Colin's eardrums like an ice pick. "… Ah! I guess I forgot to mention that he's already married! Yeah, that's right! If you really want you can have him.. But you'll never be more than his mistress! I wonder what his wife would do to his new little side thing.."

The atmosphere in the secretaries' office was chilly to say the lest. Jamie looked at Sophia with a look of bewilderment. "What did you say? He's married? Sophia, did you hit your head? How could you say such a thing about our company CEO? I'll tell Mr. Li and he'll fire you, bitch!"
